Press Brake Dies & Punch-Compatible Bending Solutions
Match V dies, multi-V dies, and hemming dies precisely to your sheet thickness, bend angles, and press brake specifications. Engineered for repeatable precision and minimal springback.
Customization & Export Ready: CAMT supports custom die openings, specialized groove geometry, high-volume production, and global delivery. Explore our press brake tooling products for a closer fit.
Press Brake Die Categories Overview
Selecting the correct die geometry directly impacts required tonnage, springback control, and surface quality. Review our core press brake tooling and die category options to determine the optimal configuration for your fabrication shop.
V Dies
The foundational choice for precision sheet metal forming. Ideal for air bending and bottoming setups across single-angle production runs.
Multi V Dies
Engineered with multiple groove dimensions in a single block to reduce setup changeovers and increase processing versatility.
Hemming Dies
Two-stage tooling systems designed to execute acute pre-bending and full flat hem compression for rigid, burr-free safety edges. They also pair well with gooseneck punches when extra flange clearance is needed.

CAMT provides technical guidance to match die types, openings, and material hardness to your specific press brake parameters and bending profiles.
Die Opening & Bending Compatibility Guide
Selecting the optimal V-die opening is key to preventing sheet cracking, controlling springback, and protecting press brake tonnage limits. Use this practical selection logic to calculate die openings, ensure machine compatibility, and extend tooling life across your press brake tooling setup.
Die Opening & Sheet Thickness Ratio
Matching V-die width (V) to material thickness (T) balances target bend radius, required tonnage, and edge clearance.
V-Die Opening (V) = 6× to 8× Material Thickness (T) for standard mild steel air bending.
Die Opening Calculation Formulas
Determine Base Die Openings
Select the baseline V-opening based on sheet thickness, tensile strength, and bend angle. High-strength materials like stainless steel require larger openings (10×T to 12×T) to eliminate outer-radius cracking and lower tonnage resistance.
Adjust for Inside Radius & Springback
Fine-tune groove width according to drawing radius specifications and expected springback. Smaller V-openings produce tighter inside radii but spike tonnage; wider openings stabilize springback control across batch production.
Verify Tonnage & Physical Compatibility
Cross-check calculated forming force against press brake tonnage capacity per meter. Verify shut height, total die height, stroke length, and holder style to ensure safe clearance during full bend execution.
Evaluate Surface Finish & Special Profiles
Determine if your cosmetic standards require enlarged shoulder-radius dies, polyurethane protective tape, or specialized press brake punches such as gooseneck punches or offset punches to eliminate die marks on stainless steel or aluminum sheets.
Proper press brake die opening selection directly balances forming accuracy, production speed, and tool durability. CAMT provides technical drawing evaluation and custom die opening recommendations tailored to your machine specifications and sheet metal requirements.
Material, Hardness, and Manufacturing Quality
Durable press brake dies built for rigorous, high-volume production. CAMT combines premium tool steel, deep heat treatment, and micron-level precision grinding to ensure long-term bending accuracy and maximum tool life. For matched setups, explore our press brake tooling line, including press brake punches and offset punches for clearance-critical bends.
High Hardness Tool Steel & Deep Heat Treatment
We engineer our dies using high hardness tool steel selected specifically for high-frequency bending. Through controlled heat treatment, each die achieves deep surface hardness and a tough inner core to withstand continuous tonnage without deformation.
- ✓High-Frequency Bending Stamina Resists shoulder wear and maintains groove geometry during heavy production runs.
- ✓Stress-Relieved Structural Stability Advanced thermal processing eliminates internal stress to prevent warping under full tonnage.
